Stephen King Says President Trump Blocked Him on Twitter But J.K. Rowling Is Here to Help

Stephen King's latest horror story: he's being blocked by President Trump on Twitter — but he's not entirely sure what happened.

The noted horror author tweeted on Tuesday that he is being blocked from following Trump's Twitter account — a situation that other Americans have found themselves in after they made critical comments.

Trump has blocked me from reading his tweets. I may have to kill myself.

He later asked via Twitter if others had "received a notification of being blocked from Trump's tweets," and questioned if it was a hoax. TIME reached out to King to confirm that he is being blocked. King's representative said that "I t has now disappeared so [we] cannot verify if it was from Trump or just a prank."

After King's initial tweet, fellow blockbuster author and active Twitter user J.K. Rowling stepped in with an offer to help, offering to slide into his DMs with Trump's tweets. (Strictly speaking, this isn't necessary, as blocked users can read reposts of Trump's tweets on accounts like this one.)
